Dhayah Fort
The place dates back to 1300-1600 BC, and it is said that locals used it for settlement and fortification. One of the reasons it is special is because it is the place where British troops and local Qawasim tribes went face-to-face with each other. Even after years of wear and tear and being constantly under the sun, the original watering system has remained unchanged, where water from mountains during rains was collected.
The readers must know that the passage to reach the fort is rocky, uneven, and has no wheelchairs or mobility. This tourist spot in Ras Al Khaimah still needs to improve with light, so make sure that you visit it during the day.
Al Jazirat Al Hamra
Back in the 14th century, it was believed to have been built by three tribes. In the year 1830, it was noted that 200 people lived in this small region, although the population increased in the following years, with the major livelihood being pearl fishing. The cause of the abandonment still remains unknown.
